Redact What’s Confidential. Translate What’s Not. Release Drawings in One Pass.
Engineering PDFs carry more than geometry: client names, internal part IDs, checker initials, and proprietary notes. DrawX cleans sensitive metadata and translates title blocks into your partner’s language—without breaking layouts or redrafting a single line.
- Redact & translate in a single pass
- Exact term match—zero AI guesswork
- Preserves line weights & sheet layout
- 100% auditable, logged, and reversible
Built for precision engineering, aerospace, defense, and global supply chains where data leakage is not an option.
Every Shared Drawing Is an Accidental Disclosure.
The title block reveals secrets you never meant to expose: your OEM clients, internal part taxonomies, and engineer initials. Redacting by hand across 100-page drawing packs is exhausting—and a single missed stamp is an IP breach. Meanwhile, overseas vendors struggle with unreadable notes, forcing costly, error-prone redrafts.
-
Engineering Drain
Senior engineers waste hours hunting down text strings and white-out boxes in design software.
-
Catastrophic Leakage
A single overlooked revision tag can violate non-disclosure agreements or expose supply margins.
-
Zero Audit Trail
Redacting via generic PDF viewers leaves no tamper-proof record of what was scrubbed, when, or by whom.
-
The Translation Trap
Redrafting title blocks and tolerances for overseas suppliers introduces drafting errors and days of delay.
The geometry isn’t the problem. It’s the metadata written around it.
Have a high-stakes drawing sitting in your outbox right now?
The Digital Air-Gap for Technical Documentation.
DrawX sits directly between your engineering vault and external partners. Upload your PDF package, define the terms to scrub, and choose the target language. DrawX identifies every instance across every sheet—giving your team a controlled checkpoint to approve changes before files leave the building.
Your original CAD-exported PDF stays untouched. The exported sheet is clean, verifiable, and fully logged.
Five Controlled Steps to a Supplier-Ready Drawing.
DrawX gives you surgical precision: nothing changes without explicit human approval.
-
Upload & Specify
Drop your drawing package into a new project run. Enter exact terms to find—customer names, customer part codes, vendor references, or specific checker initials.
-
Deterministic Match
Click Analyse. DrawX scans vector and raster text across all sheets simultaneously. Heavy packages run quietly in the background with zero lag.
-
Inspect & Box-Select
Review flagged matches in the live Changes Ledger. Deselect false positives in one click, and use the Freehand Area Box to capture stamped signatures, logos, or non-searchable graphical notes.
-
Configure Action: Scrub, Translate, or Both
Choose your action: apply permanent rasterized redactions, translate notes into 14 industrial languages (auto-detecting the source), or execute both simultaneously.
-
Side-by-Side Verification & Export
Validate changes with synced-pan split-screen and slider comparisons. Export clean, vector-intact PDFs with an automated audit manifest.
Purpose-Built Tooling for Zero-Tolerance Sharing.
Deterministic Term Detection
Zero algorithmic hallucinations. DrawX flags only the exact strings you specify—safeguarding geometric dimensions, callouts, and GD&T symbols from accidental removal.
Freehand Graphical Shielding
Quickly box and obscure rasterized signature stamps, custom compliance seals, and client watermarks that standard OCR cannot read.
Layout-Conscious Label Swapping
Replace scrubbed data with standard tokens (e.g., [REDACTED], [CONFIDENTIAL]). Real-time character count limits guarantee labels never bleed outside title block borders.
14-Language Technical Translation
Convert notes, fabrication guidelines, and finish instructions accurately. Retains standard engineering abbreviations and layout density.
Synchronized Split-View Diffing
Zoom and pan across 4K engineering sheets with both versions locked in sync. Instantly jump from item to item via the change list.
Enterprise Release Audit Trail
Every run produces an exportable compliance log: who uploaded the file, what was scrubbed, which language was injected, and the exact timestamp.
Precision Redaction vs. Generic PDF Acrobatics
| Feature / Capability | Generic PDF Editors / Ad-Hoc CAD Fixes | DrawX Dedicated Release Desk |
|---|---|---|
| Search Accuracy | Misses nested text; often scrubs drawing lines. | Strictly isolates text terms; leaves geometry untouched. |
| Translation | Manual copy-pasting into translators; breaks formatting. | In-line 14-language translation fitted to original text frames. |
| Reversibility | Risky overwrites; destructive edits. | Checkpoint architecture; roll back changes at any stage. |
| Compliance | No verification logs or proof of scrubbing. | Complete digital chain of custody with timestamped logs. |
